Following a powerful funeral for Nelson Mandela in his home village of Qunu, South Africa, on Sunday, South African-Americans did their part to remember the anti-apartheid icon in Nashville.
Hundreds of people came to the Global Mall Event Center in Antioch for "Celebrating His Legacy," an evening of traditional African dancing, singing, food and art representing a wide spectrum of African nations.
"Our kids born to us here in the U.S. don't know too much about Nelson Mandela, and that breaks my heart," said Gina Inkum, an organizer for the event. "Our goal is that through this event they ...

Gadening with The Sun and The Wind
Garden Guides on Planting Conditions
Articles :: Design :: Links to plants ::
The Sun and The Wind
You can control many planting conditions. You can add water with a hose if it does not rain. But you can't turn the sun on if your plants need extra light or heat
This just means that you must take normal sun and prevailing wind conditions into consideration when you plan and when you plant. Use shady lawn mixtures where grass must grow in partial shade. Plant sun-loving flowers in your sunniest border spots. Plant vegetables only where the plants are assured an average of six hours of sun daily during the growing season. Mild winds help dry off plants wet from rain or dew and in that way help you control fungus diseases in gardens. Strong winds break off tall plants . . . yes, even trees, particularly the fast growing kinds. Some measure of wind control in the garden is possible through the planting of windbreaks-tight, tall-growing hedges or even trees. just make up your mind to work with nature by paying a little attention to the plants' preferences

Back To Blogger
god, i am the picture of indecision, aren't i? i can't find an interface with a layout i really like. i've tried tumblr (like, but not the themes), wordpress (nice themes, no customizability) and now i am back here at blogger. its a little harder to figure out, but is infinitely more customizable. so, i'll take it.
at least all this changing of blogs has enabled me to (sort of) figure out what i want from this blog. so, it's going to consist of things i like, things that interest me, pretty things, places i'd like to go, my pins on pinterest, and glimpses into what i wear. i hope.
i am going to try to have recurring daily posts. we'll see how long i keep it up!

Image of Walker Art Center's crinkled skin by Star Tribune photographer Stormi Greener.
Minnesota artists are invited to a Q & A session Tuesday evening at Walker Art Center where officials from ArtPrize, a Michigan organization, will lay out the ground rules for the ArtPrize Pitchfest. Described as a "competitive grant program," the Pitchefest sounds more like speed dating.
Five artist finalists will be picked by a Twin Cities jury and given five minutes each to show five slides to five jurors in hopes of getting $5,000.The initial phase is open to all artists; the five finalists will give their pitches to the jury on "ArtPrize Pitch Night" sometime in June.
Winner of the local event will then go on to the big deal ArtPrize competion held annually in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That event was founded five years ago by Rick DeVos, a "social media entrepreneur" who, naturally, has built audience participation into the deal. Viewers get to vote on their Top 10 favorites who also get prize money.
Last year's grand prize winner, Adonna Khare, got $200,000 for a mural-sized drawing, "Elephants." A $75,000 second prize went to Martijn van Wagtendonk for a kinetic sculpture, "Song of Lift," and Frits Hoendervanger took home a $50,000 third prize for a painting, "Rebirth of Spring."
The 2012 competition attracted 1,517 entrants. Six of those entrants shared an additional $200,000 in prize money.
An offshoot of the Grand Rapids program, Minnesota's event is co-sponsored by Walker Art Center, mnartists.org and ArtPrize. For more details check out the info session at 7 p.m., Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Av., Minneapolis. 612-375-7600.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. This week's warm temperatures have children digging out summer clothes, but there are some rules to remember before wearing shorts and tank tops to school.
"Schools probably do see a little bit more in the springtime just because we're just getting everything our of our closet, bringing back out the summer, warm clothes," said District 51 Spokesperson Christy Mcgee, of dress code violations.
District 51's handbook states clothing shouldn't take away from a distraction-free classroom.
It's up to the individual schools to create specific dress code policies.
"For the school to say, this is what we want to do, this is what we've noticed in our culture, this is what will help us and this is how we want to establish our culture," Mcgee said.
Overall, District 51 recommends checking the length of shorts or width of tank top straps to avoid being too revealing in the classroom.
"I make sure skirts and shorts aren't too short, make sure you can't see her underwear or bras through anything, make sure her chest is covered," said Amy Baker, whose 14-year-old daughter goes to West Middle School.
A school in Illinois made headlines recently for a policy that doesn't allow girls to wear leggings or yoga pants without a shirt, skirt or dress covering to fingertip length.
District 51 school policies don't have written rules about these kinds of pants.
Parents with questions about policies can contact specific schools.

About this location
The Northumberland region
Northumberland is a wonderful combination of fishing villages, old market towns, endless beaches, stunning castles and of course the historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and a vast array of unique wildlife. Northumberland covers over 400 square miles, with the Northumberland National Park being the least populated of England's National Parks, much to the benefit of those visitors seeking peace and solitude.
It's an ideal haven for walkers too, with thousands of paths and tracks weaving their way through beautiful countryside, providing exhilarating fresh air and wide-open spaces for walkers and cyclists alike.
The Heritage Coastline has mile upon mile of sparkling award-winning beaches, rocky coves and picturesque fishing villages. From Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north, to Druridge Bay in the south, there are a huge number of beaches and coastal towns to explore. Popular destinations along the coastline include the horseshoe-shaped sandy beach and dunes at Beadnell Bay, the bustling village of Seahouses, with boat trips from the picturesque harbour, the kipper smokery and coastal path at Craster and the picture postcard village of Alnmouth.
Adding to the area's splendour is the multitude of magnificent castles, the most famous being Alnwick, home to the powerful Percy family and the setting for some of the Harry Potter films. There is also the spectacular, medieval Bamburgh Castle, standing high on its rocky outcrop; the brooding ruins of Dunstanburgh and pretty Warkworth.
Known locally as the Capital of Coquetdale, the traditional Northumbrian village of Rothbury is built on a sandstone hillside. It offers an excellent range of shops, with many art galleries, tea rooms, cafes and pubs. It makes a very convenient base for fishing and for walking into the Northumberland National Park and Simonside, as well as offering less strenuous riverside walks.
Rothbury lies near the centre of rural Northumberland, 12 miles from Alnwick, 15 miles from Morpeth and 29 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. As such it has been a local centre since the 13th century and at various times had a castle, a market and magistrate's court. Nearby Cragside House and Gardens, home to Lord Armstrong is perhaps the most famous attraction in the area.
Attractions and Things To Do in Rothbury
Exploring the beautiful outdoors is definitely a theme in what there is to do in and around Rothbury. It's perfectly set up for the serious walker with the Northumberland National Park and Simonside on your doorstep. There's also plenty circular walks that have Rothbury as a starting and finishing point. The area is also excellent for the keen sports person with fishing on the River Coquet and also at nearby Fontburn Reservoir. Cragside House and Gardens, the home of Lord Armstrong is just a couple of miles away and makes a fascinating day out for all the family. Other recommended places of interest include Brinkburn Priory and Goats on the Roof.
Restaurants, Pubs and Cafes in Rothbury
Rothbury serves as a hub for the outlying Villages and as such has a good choice of places to eat and drink. You might be surprised to hear that in such a small place not only are there a number of pubs and cafes, but there is also an Italian restaurant and an Indian restaurant! The numerous cafes are extremely popular with the walkers and there is a good choice on offer here as well. There are also a number of country pubs in the Rothbury area that are worth visiting.
Shopping, Food and Supermarkets
Rothbury has an award-winning selection of local, independent shops in which you can buy practically anything from meat to shoes and wine. We have highlighted the best in independent retailers including crafts and gifts, food shops, supermarkets and clothing. There are also a number of art and crafts galleries that celebrate and sell original and local crafts.
Events in Rothbury
Rothbury Music Festival celebrates the popularity of Folk and Traditional music in the area. The Festival takes place in July each year, has been running for over thirty years and now draws musicians from around the country. Rothbury has it's own Highland Pipe Band who always open the proceedings and display their marching and plating skills. The event consumes the whole Village with many performances and ceilidh's across the weekend. Another popular event is the Rothbury and Coquetdale Walking Festival that takes place in June annually. With many walks of differing lengths and difficulty in a period of just over a week there really is something for everybody. Visit their website for more information.
Rothbury Tourist Information Centre (one of the main centre's for the Northumberland National Park) is located in the Coquetdale Centre in the middle of the Village by the Church. The full address is The Coquetdale Centre, Church House, Church Street, Rothbury, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE65 7UP, Contact 01669 620 887. Rothbury Community Cinema was set up with the aim to bring interesting and entertaining films to the area on a regular basis without local people having to make a 60 mile round trip to the cinema. There are usually two films shown every month on a Friday evening and entrance is free (however, a small donation is requested for the use of the Jubilee Hall to pay for the heating etc). Check their website for film times. Other amenities include Rothbury Bowling Club, Coquetdale Swimming and Fitness Centre, Rothbury Lawn Tennis Club, Rothbury Football Club and Rothbury Cricket Club.

Fun Friday 10.19.12
Posted on October 19, 2012
Happy Friday Peepuls. Now before we all set our sights on Friday art parties and dancing and getting crazy and writing on people's foreheads with markers, it's time for us to get Debatified so we are all ready to vote. Obama is ahead in New York by like a hundred and five percent but apparently there are some states in the imperfect union where it is still a toss-up and people are just not sure who's better. Moderator Candy Crowley scoured all of New York's Long Island Tuesday and came up with only 82 people who still don't know who they're voting for – 12 of them polled just before airtime were also not sure who is on the one dollar bill, so there's a clue for ya right there. Here's a capsulized version of what went down.
1. Becca and Philip Lumbang (LA)
2. "Purple", a Female Group Show in Williamsburg (BKLN)
3. Fairey's "Sound and Vision" (London)

Rodríguez-Pose, Andrés and Comptour, Fabrice (2012) Do clusters generate greater innovation and growth? An analysis of European regions. The Professional Geographer, 64 (2). pp. 211-231. ISSN 0033-0124
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The analysis of clusters has attracted considerable interest over the last few decades. The articulation of clusters into complex networks and systems of innovation-generally known as regional innovation systems-has, in particular, been associated with the delivery of greater innovation and growth. Despite the growing economic and policy relevance of clusters, little systematic research has been conducted into their association with other factors promoting innovation and economic growth. This article addresses this issue by looking at the relationship between innovation and economic growth in 152 regions of Europe during the period between 1995 and 2006. Using an econometric model with a static and a dynamic dimension, the results of the analysis highlight that (1) regional growth through innovation in Europe is fundamentally connected to the presence of an adequate socioeconomic environment and, in particular, to the existence of a well-trained and educated pool of workers; (2) the presence of clusters matters for regional growth but only in combination with a good social filter, and this association wanes in time; (3) more traditional research and development variables have a weak initial connection to economic development, but this connection increases over time and is, once again, contingent on the existence of adequate socioeconomic conditions.

Employment Numbers as expected....POOR
The Employment report for December was poor once again. According to the Labor Department 524,000 people lost their jobs last month. That brings the total number of jobs lost in 2008 to 2,589,000. WOW. I consider myself among the lucky ones who still has a seat to go to on a daily basis.
"The labor market has deteriorated sharply, and it's telling us the economy is exceptionally weak right now,' said Jim O'Sullivan, senior economist at UBS Securities LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. "The first quarter will be pretty rough again, with big declines in payrolls and higher unemployment."
Job losses were also widespread, manufacturing, service sector, builders, retailers etc etc all reported job losses.
President-Elect Obama has a number of inititives in the works that I sure hope get this economy moving. Time will tell.
Market Reaction
The Dollar strengthened arcoss the board led by the Euro which traded down to 1.3480(ish). In Latin America the dollar trader stronger most of the day against Mexico and Brazil but on the close reversed course and ended up at its weakest level of the day. I think this has more to do with Latin America then the Dollar. Latin America is setting up for a big lower interest rate move. Chile cut 100bp on Thursday and signaled they had more to come. Mexican Finance Minister said that they were "Very worried about growth". The market took this as a sign of interest rate cuts at the January 16 meeting. Brazilian rates also were off about 20bp as expectations for 75-100bp cut in rates at their Jan 20 meeting are now fully priced in.
I think that Latin American rates might be slightly over done at these levels but will certainly be lower in 3-6 months.
Good Luck and Good Currency Trading.

ADP Employment Index Collapses
The ADP Employment number came out this morning and was much worse then expected. -693k after an expected -495k. The revision from last month was -476k after an initial report of -250k. This has led to an worse number expected when U.S. Non Farm Payrolls are reported on Friday. The previous estimate was for -500k but now I am hearing expectations of between 750-1000k. I think that horrible numbers will be built in and a rally may ensue after the reported number.

Chilean Stimulus Package
Emerging Markets currencies and rates continued to rally today as risk seems to be back in vogue. Chile is the latest country to announce a substantial stimulus package. The plan is to sell bonds and tap savings in an effort to spur a slowing economy. The currency rallied all day closing at 624 and blue chip stocks rallied 2.52% in response to the move.
"They built up their war chest and now they're using it," Joydeep Mukherji, Standard & Poor's sovereign risk analyst for Chile, said by telephone from New York today. Chile has "the highest credit rating in Latin American precisely because of these kinds of policies."
The Finance ministry believes this move will enable the country to create 100,000 new jobs and allow the economy to grow by 2-3 percent. With the size of this package the Chilean government is certainly not fooling around. It looks as if the good feeling is spilling over to other Latin American economies as Brazil, Mexico and Colombia have all responded positively as well.
Currently Latin American yield curves are all inverted as the market continues to look for rate cuts sooner then later. Chile has a rate announcement later this week and the market is now looking for 75-100bp up from 50bp earlier. I think lower rates in this region with a steepening curve in the States will force interest rate differentials to converge. Not that the Fed will raise rates but as people get fed up with earning 0% with Treasury Bills I can see them looking for alternative investments.
The Euro which opened considerable lower, reversed course and is closing at the highs of the day. I am looking for this currency to make a move higher.

Madoff and the Markets
Emerging Markets started out the year on a very positive note. The Bovespa was up 3.17% (now 10.57% for the year) while the currency rallied from 2.3500 to a close of 2.2425 (BMF). The Mexican Peso had a very similar move starting the day at 13.7100 and trading down to a close of 13.4750. Now the question is why? Is this a "head fake" or the beginning of a real move. For now I will not get to carried away and will see how the week plays out. We have the Employment number on Friday and I see no way that number looks good. Then again the entire market could be feeling the same way and that could negate the negative effect. Any Thoughts?
Reading a fee reports this morning highlights how decidedly bearish the overall market is. Most analysts' think we are still in the beginning stages of this slowdown and expect further deterioration in the months to come. I think this is probably correct and as such think strongly that Interest Rates in the Latin American region are headed lower. Chile has a rate announcement later this week and I am looking for a 50bp cut. Look for Colombia to follow closely behind. Lower rates in the region, slower growth and continued risk aversion lead me to think that the currencies could be under significant pressure.
I am starting to look at a basket trade. Long Argentina, Chile and Colombia against short Mexico and Brazil. I am not going to put it on yet but will watch over the next few weeks to see how thing develop.
On to one of my recent most interesting stories Bernard Madoff. Amazingly regulators looked into Madoff's operations at least 8 times over the last 16 years and no thing turned up to cause concern. He seems to have been able to convince regulators that he was not running an investment advisory business. He claimed that he received a commission rather then a percentage of the profits like typical Hedge Funds do. Still it is amazing that he was investigated so many times and no thing came out of it. Someone was not doing their job.
Good Luck and Good Currency Trading.

Predictions for 2009
As a trader it has always annoyed me when reading an analyst declare "I told you so" when hitting an objective on a trade. It is only a real objective if the analyst employs real risk management in applying the trade. What I mean is this, I say the Euro will go to 2.00 against the dollar by Dec 2009. It first trades down to parity, trades at this level for 11 months then spikes on Dec 20 up to 2.00 and the analyst says "BINGO". Any trader would probably have been stopped out OR cut the position due to lack of movement (11 months trading at parity) and never held the position for the 11 ensuing months. Remember Traders are paid to make money and watching a losing trade do no thing for 11 months would make for a quick exit from most trading desks. With this being said I will make a few predictions for the coming year. They mean very little and I will probably have few of these trades on as I trade much shorter term and alot (I repeat ALOT) should happen between now and Dec 2009.
The Dollar.
The current environment is one, which, most countries will attempt to devalue their currencies. A weaker currency will help with trade and help companies who have income generated from off shore entities. The U.S. should be no different. The question is who will be able to devalue in a quicker more efficient manor. I think the Bush administration has pursued a policy of a weak dollar (although they say the want a strong dollar) for years now and I believe that President Obama will be the same. That being said I also feel that the U.S. will come out of this global recession quicker then anyone else, followed by recoveries worldwide. Therefore I see a stronger dollar near term (1-3 months) as the turmoil continues followed by a period of dollar weakness 3-9 months. I see this playing out against the other major economies, Europe the UK and Swiss. I do not see the Dollar making new lows but we should finish 2009 weaker then we started.
Against Emerging Market currencies I see a similar situation playing out. The Dollar trading stronger near term as market participants continue to exit risky currency plays and looking for a safe haven for their money with global turmoil (Israeli/Hamas) but reversing in the 3-9 month area as traders look to yield to make money. Remember U.S. rates are very low (.25%) and the Fed has said that they will keep them their for the foreseeable future. If markets go quiet like I think they will traders will run for yield as a way of producing profits.
U.S. Rates
As the Fed has said, rates will stay low probably throughout at least the first three quarters of 2009. I do however see the yield curve steepening out as markets quiet down and the world begins to have more confidence in the global banking system. I think alot of the reason 3mth treasury bills are near 0% is the fear of losing principle. Right now you can earn 3% in an HSBC Direct account which is guaranteed by the government (up to $250,000) so eventually people will begin to shift into a better yielding alternative.
Global Rates
Interest Rates globally have to come down and in a big way. It seems to me that everyone is moving to slow currently and this will catch up to them. How far everyone moves I am not sure but the general direction is certainly lower.
U.S. stocks should end the year higher then they began. I am looking for a level of 11,500 by year end. Why, well it is basically a guess but I think that stocks should go bid before the rest of the economy shows signs of rebounding. The U.S. consumer is a funny bunch, they forget very easily. Once the turn is in they will invest, maybe not to the extent of previous years but they will certainly invest. I do however think we move lower first and I am also looking for a very up and down first 1-4 months.
Random Stuff
Baseball Attendance
I think that Baseball attendance will be poor this year. Huge salaries being paid to athletes while a large portion of America is unemployed and having a big problem paying their bills. I am certainly not against a player getting paid all he can, but I think personal finances will have Americans watching more games from home this year.
Bernard Madoff
I really don't care what happens to this guy as long as he is locked up. He destroyed many people and numerous charities. I have read all the stuff about greed (on the side of the investor) being the cause of this and I don't fully buy it. He lied about his fund (could he have done this alone!?) and took money up to the end. I am sure most of the victims of this fraud were unaware that they were in a Madoff fund. Blame the right people here, not the one looking for an honest return but the guy stealing their money.
Sarah Palin
I think she will fade away and rarely be heard from again (Sorry Tina Fey).
Remember these predictions mean little to anyone including me.
Good Luck and Good currecny Trading.

Ice conditions for Capitals-Predators game in Baltimore look awfully dangerous
Sep 20, 2011, 4:57 PM EDT
The Washington Capitals and Nashville Predators are due to square off tonight in Baltimore, Maryland at the 1st Mariner Arena to give fans there a taste of NHL action. With Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Ryan Suter, and Shea Weber all scheduled to play tonight to give the hockey fans in Baltimore a look at what goes on down the road in D.C. and elsewhere around the NHL, the event is a big deal for the Capitals to spread the game further out around the mid-Atlantic region.
As will happen when you're playing outside the confines of your home arena, sometimes there will be problems. In the case of 1st Mariner Arena, their problems appear to be major ones that could bring the safety of the players into question. Stephen Whyno of The Washington Times tells us about how cracks in the ice visible as far away as the press box are causing concern for tonight's scheduled game.
But quietly, players were less than complimentary of the rink, calling it "a little rough" or worse. From a few rows up in the stands, it looked sloppy.
But Boudreau pointed out that players understand the situation.
"They're aware. They skate on it. They know it better than me. But what can you do? Both teams are there; it's an ice surface," he said. "They've played on, in their lives, some ice surfaces that weren't really up to snuff – and I'm not saying this won't be, but they're going to be working on it today."
Update: As of 4 p.m., there were big cracks in the ice visible as high up as the press box.
The NHL likes to do preseason games outside of the home arenas to help expand the visibility of the game and for the Capitals, going into Baltimore for a game more than makes sense. Asking the players to deal with ice that at least looks as bad as this does puts everyone on the ice in jeopardy. Soft ice is one thing, but ice that appears to be damaged with cracks in it comes about as close to possible as being unplayable.
Let's hope that either the ice is repaired enough to be playable (poorly so, but still) or that they'll make the right move and postpone the game if the conditions are indeed that terrible.
Update (5:01 p.m.): According to Whyno, a Caps spokesman insists that the cracks that are visible are below the surface of the ice and will not affect play on the ice.

I'm just hoping for a great game and a CAPS win Go Caps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Kevin Jameson - Sep 20, 2011 at 6:16 PM
This could be a disastrous situation for the NHL, and it just isn't a risk worth taking. We have seen players destroy knees and ankles on uneven ice surfaces in the past — why would the NHL let its premier talent play on a surface that is clearly substandard and risk player injury for a PRESEASON game?
It's up to these players to come together before this game and refuse to play citing the dangerous conditions and have the NHLPA take up a grievance with the league for trying to make them play on that ice.
Also, Boudreau is an idiot. "But what can you do? Both teams are there; it's an ice surface, [t]hey've played on, in their lives, some ice surfaces that weren't really up to snuff."
On what planet does this man live? They were kids playing on outdoor rinks for fun when they played on these kinds of ice surfaces, not grown men skating an incredibly fast speeds, stopping and turning on a pinhead, for massive paychecks.
God forbid someone get injured tonight lest the NHL have a huge mess on their hands.
- capsrockva - Sep 20, 2011 at 6:34 PM
They played the Winter Classic last year in the rain, with worse ice conditions considering it was outdoors, or did you forget about that?
- Kevin Jameson - Sep 20, 2011 at 6:48 PM
Where in my comment did I say that the ice surface for the Winter Classic was acceptable?
I didn't, because it wasn't, and they shouldn't have played on it. But there was too much cash on the line for the NHL to make the right decision to protect its players and cancel the event.
- icelovinbrotha215 - Sep 20, 2011 at 9:07 PM
I agree. These guys played on much worse ice growing up. Let's not make it seem as if they are playing on gravel.
- stixzidinia - Sep 20, 2011 at 7:36 PM
Wow that's even worse than the crappy ice I play on during the summer here in So FL.

The Chinese government this week blocked Egypt-related searches on some widely-used websites, an indication, according to Chinese bloggers, of the authorities' unease at Internet users spreading information about the protests in Egypt.
Keyword searches for the Chinese characters for "Egypt" was blocked on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, after many Internet users began posting messages on the recent events, some comparing them to the student protests at Tiananmen Square in 1989. Searches were also blocked on two popular portals, Sina and Netease.
The authorities did not, however, censor content discussing the protests. China's official media reported on the events. While the state media, including newspapers like the People's Daily and Global Times, tended to "demonise" the protesters as rioters and looters, the reaction online was markedly different, noted Michael Anti, a well-known Chinese blogger and media commentator.
"Many netizens have compared the Egypt situation to the events in Tiananmen Square 22 years ago, and expressed support for the protesters," he said. The decision to restrict searches on Egypt, he added, reflected the government's unease at being compared to authoritarian states.
While today's economically-resurgent China is much removed from the days of 1989 or even the situation in Egypt, authorities have routinely expressed concern over the destabilising potential of the Internet.
China, which has the world's biggest online community with more than 475 million Internet users, employs a vast censorship apparatus. While the authorities no longer widely restrict access to outside information, recently opening up blocked websites such as Wikipedia, the government has voiced particular anxiety over the impact of social media, restricting access to information-sharing websites like Twitter and Facebook.
State-run newspapers, meanwhile, warned in editorials this week that protests would only bring chaos. The English-language Global Times wrote in an editorial that "colour revolutions will not bring about real democracy". "In general, democracy has a strong appeal because of the successful models in the West. But whether the system is applicable in other countries is in question, as more and more unsuccessful examples arise," said the editorial.
Some emerging economies in Asia and Africa, it added, were "taking hit after hit from street-level clamour".

New Ave Maria community looks to attract families
A new home builder is coming to Ave Maria, with plans to construct at least 1,500 single-family homes in a community that will mirror one of its most successful ones on Florida's east coast.
Naples-based Barron Collier Cos., a co-developer of Ave Maria, will build the new neighborhood in a joint partnership with CC Devco, based in Coral Gables, minutes from downtown Miami.
Longtime developers Armando Codina and Jim Carr founded CC Devco in 2008 and have been involved in more than 40 residential projects across the state, including one called Monterra in Cooper City, southwest of Fort Lauderdale. Monterra is one of Florida's fastest growing communities — and it's the one that will be repeated in the growing town of Ave Maria, 40 miles east of Naples.
CC Devco is buying out the interests of Ave Maria University and Tom Monaghan, the founder of the town and the university, in a chunk of undeveloped land south and east of the town center. The deal, which is expected to close in the next month or two, involves 618 acres that will become Maple Ridge at Ave Maria. The purchase price of those interests was not disclosed.
Monaghan and Barron Collier Cos. formed a 50-50 private partnership called Ave Maria Development to own and develop a new town surrounding a Catholic university. At build out, Ave Maria is expected to have 11,000 homes on its 4,000 acres.
CC Devco will join the town's two other homebuilders: Pulte, the primary and original one, and Lennar. Those two are national builders, unlike CC Devco that has its eye on Florida.
The fact that Carr and Codina — two long-time and well respected developers in the state with more than 66 years of combined experience — chose to build in Ave Maria, when they have opportunities to build all over Florida shows their confidence in Ave Maria and the future of Collier County as the local housing market continues to heal, said Blake Gable, co-president of Barron Collier Cos.
"It's the A team," he said.
The partners are investing their own money in the community, which will be targeted at families. It will offer them safety and A-rated schools, just what they're looking for, Carr said.
"It's a straight, no nonsense single-family home community," he said.
He said the town, with its town center, retail shops and schools, reminds him of a community called Weston, an affluent suburb in Broward County on Florida's east coast, 25 years ago.
"All the bones are there and it's an incredible place to live," Carr said of Ave Maria.
The focus will be on value at Maple Ridge, which will offer larger homes with fancier features on larger lots, at nearly half the price found at other new communities closer to Naples.
Prices will range from the $190,000s to the low $300,000s. There are nine one- and two-story floor plans, spanning from 1,900 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. Six of those models are the same ones built at Monterra, which came out of the ground three years ago.
Some of the fancier features will include a Roman-style tub with separate shower in the master bathroom, tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and brick paver driveways.
"We're going to offer more value for the dollar than any place in Southwest Florida," Gable said. "Collier County is attracting some very, very good people, making significant investments."
The community will fit with the original focus of Ave Maria, which was on providing more value, more amenities and a better lifestyle, Gable said.
Sales have picked up at Ave Maria, as they have elsewhere in the county, Gable said. Home sales and reservations made this year are approaching 50, he said.
There are about 500 homes built so far, most of them are lived-in and foreclosures are not a major problem, like they are in some communities, Blake said.
At Maple Ridge, Barron Collier Cos. will oversee the development of the land, including roads. There are plans to start building models within a few weeks, with the first ones expected to open by September.
The project, like any new housing development, will generate jobs, but Carr said he didn't have an estimate of how many. Asked whether local workers will be hired, he said, "Our preference is always local help," Carr said. "We're trying to use as many subcontractors locally as possible."
This is not the first time CC Devco has partnered with Barron Collier Cos. In 2011, CC Devco teamed up with Halstatt Partnership, part of Barron Collier Cos., to develop one of the last neighborhoods to be built in the affluent Grey Oaks community off Airport-Pulling Road on the northeast border of Naples. The neighborhood is known as Traditions, offering single-family villas and attached coach homes.
Ross McIntosh, a Naples broker and housing expert, said the first partnership was a good way for Barron Collier Cos. and the partners in CC Devco to validate that they're like-minded and can work cooperatively in a joint venture.
He's skeptical, however, about their latest venture. He points out that Pulte stopped focusing on single-family homes at Ave Maria 18 months ago, essentially abandoning the family market and concentrating on its resort-style Del Webb retirement community.
"Codina-Carr has lots of experience at big production subdivisions," McIntosh said. "So if there is demand for that product out there, those guys can build them. I can't tell you if there are buyers."

Tunisia president says hopeful despite suspension of government talks
PARIS (Reuters) – Tunisia's president said on Tuesday he was optimistic his country would stay on the path to democracy despite a suspension of talks between ruling Islamists and opposition parties on forming a new caretaker government.
Monday's suspension of talks after the two sides failed to agree on a prime minister has dealt a blow to hopes of a quick end to political deadlock in Tunisia, whose 2011 uprising inspired the "Arab Spring" revolts across the region.
France says its journalists 'coldly assassinated' in Mali
PARIS/BAMAKO (Reuters) – France said on Sunday two French journalists found dead in the northern Mali region of Kidal had been "coldly assassinated" by militants and vowed to step up security measures in the area.
Radio journalists Claude Verlon and Ghislaine Dupont were abducted after interviewing a member of the MNLA Tuareg separatist group in northern Mali.
French public want Hollande to change policies: poll
PARIS (Reuters) – The vast majority of French people want President Francois Hollande to change his polices or reshuffle his government, an opinion poll suggested on Sunday, a day after thousands protested against tax hikes and rising unemployment.
Hollande, the most unpopular French president on record according to a previous poll, has been hit by public anger over his economic methods, rows over immigration policy and repeated gaffes within the government.
Two French journalists abducted, killed in northern Mali
BAMAKO/PARIS (Reuters) – Two French radio journalists were killed by gunmen in northern Mali on Saturday shortly after being abducted in the town of Kidal, French and Malian officials said.
The French government confirmed that 58-year old Claude Verlon and Ghislaine Dupont, 51, both journalists at RFI radio, had been found dead.
Hollande says four French hostages kidnapped in Niger freed
NIAMEY/PARIS (Reuters) – Four French hostages kidnapped by al Qaeda's north African arm three years ago in Niger have been released, President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday.
Pierre Legrand, Daniel Larribe, Thierry Dol and Marc Feret were kidnapped by AQIM in September 2010 while working for French nuclear group Areva and a subsidiary of construction group Vinci in Arlit in Niger.
U.S. says renewed Congo fighting risks engulfing region
PARIS (Reuters) – The United States said on Monday renewed fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo between the army and M23 rebels risked dragging neighboring countries into the conflict and it urged all sides to return to the negotiating table.
Following two months of relative calm in the region, fighting flared last Friday after peace talks in neighboring Uganda broke down when M23 rebels demanded an amnesty for their leaders. President Joseph Kabila has ruled out a blanket pardon.
France says treating Iran's nuclear overture with caution
PARIS (Reuters) – France is treating Iranian overtures to the international community over its nuclear program with caution and is waiting to see concrete proposals, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Thursday.
The United States on Wednesday described two days of nuclear talks with Iran as the most serious to date after diplomats said Tehran hinted it was ready to scale back sensitive atomic activities to secure urgent sanctions relief.
France in demand again as Central Africa crisis deepens
BANGUI (Reuters) – France, whose troops this year halted an Islamist assault towards Mali's capital, is now in demand from another of its former African colonies.
"Let's make up with the mother that feeds us! President Hollande we want your help!" read one banner as cheering locals welcomed France's foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, to Central African Republic at the weekend.
France to increase troops in Central African Republic
BANGUI (Reuters) – France will boost its troop presence in the Central African Republic by the end of the year end under a forthcoming U.N. resolution to help prevent the country from spiraling out of control, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Sunday.
Fabius and the European Union aid chief, Kristalina Georgieva, are in the country to drum up support and international interest for a largely forgotten crisis.
France wants action on Central Africa 'sectarian poison'
PARIS (Reuters) – France's foreign minister heads to the Central African Republic (CAR) on Sunday aiming to drum up international interest for a largely forgotten crisis that risks dragging Paris into a new military intervention in one of its former colonies.
The nation has descended into chaos since mostly Muslim Seleka rebels ousted President Francois Bozize in March, the latest coup in the country that remains one of the world's poorest despite resources ranging from gold to uranium.

Can someone PLEASE sell me on owning both an iPad and iPhone?
Ok people, I know this has been written about before, but I really need convincing, and I am hoping someone will do so. See, I own the iPhone 5 and also have a MacBook Pro, but want so badly to LOVE an iPad. I have bought an iPad at least 6 times, but every time I end up returning it because I feel like between my iPhone and MBP that I am duplicating too much. To be honest I will even go as far as to say that at times I feel like the iPad is nothing more than an iPhone with a large screen. Like I said, I know this has been discussed before, but I am really hoping someone will make me love owning an iPad. I am looking for advice on all the different uses that I can put it to and the things that it can do that my MBP or iPhone can't. I am looking to justify spending the $600ish on it and still having a MBP and iPhone 5. I have a Best Buy gift card for $600 that needs to be spent and once again I am heavily eyeballing the iPad... Could someone please sell me

It sounds to me like you don't need one. I prefer having a tablet for casual web browsing over a laptop, and for me, the iPad Mini will fit in well. It's good for full size web browsing and reading, along with a bunch of other things that work better with a larger screen, but it's much more portable and easy to use, especially for reading, than a laptop.
However, if this isn't your use scenario, then why waste the money? There's nothing saying you HAVE to have an iPad. If it fits the way you do things, then great. To me, it sounds like it doesn't fit the way you work, so move on. |

OP... if you don't need it... you just don't need it. No one needs to "sell you" on it. I actually have been in your situation... but only twice. I bought the iPad 2 and then returned it. Same with the 3rd Gen Retina. Returned it. When I am at home, I am on my iMac in my bedroom or my Hackintosh HTPC in my living room. When I am not home, I use my iPhone.
Both times I returned my iPad, I realized that this $599 (32GB minimum for me) can be used on other things if I really don't use the iPad that much. The only time I missed having an iPad was on 5 hour flight. I brought my kids' laptop on that trip. Much heavier to carry. I might pick up an iPad mini... someday. The cheaper price is easier to swallow for a device I use casually.

I too have a MacBook Pro and the iPhone 5. I've had every iPhone since 2007. I bought my MacBook Pro in 2009. And I purchased every iPad since they came out. I was always using my mac book Pro surf the Internet check emails and etc. etc. prior to the release of the iPad. Since I started purchasing the iPads I very rarely even use my MacBook Pro. I just find being able to check email surf the net do some work take notes etc. etc. much more convenient on a one and a half pound tablet then on my five or 6 pound MacBook Pro. It's much easier for me to sit in front of the television set with a small tablet on my lap then have to boot up my MacBook Pro. For me it's about convenience and portability and even though the MacBook Pro is a great laptop and I love it I still find myself 95% of the time using my iPad. In fact I recently sold my iPad 3 upgraded it to the iPad 4 with very little out-of-pocket cost, And I recently picked up a 16 gig iPad Mini for the convenience of being able to read books and hold it in bed without it killing my hand. See I like to lay down in bed surf the net read books read my magazine content and the iPad while a great device It was just too heavy to hold in my hand for a side sleeper. My hand would fall asleep. So far I've been using the Mini and it's great my hand doesn't fall asleep I'm able to read my Internet my content etc. I do use the iPad 4 around the house. my plan if I did decide to keep the iPad mini would be just to use it when I'm in bed.
Again it's about convenience if you like booting up your laptop every day and having to either lug that around or sit at a desk or table to surf the Internet do your emails etc. then by all means use your MacBook Pro but if you want something that's portable and can do the same function and use just use your laptop for other things then I would go with the iPad I highly recommend it both all Apple devices are really good it just depends on what your needs are and that's what you really have to Evaluate. It's really all comes down to personal preference I can't recommend that iPad high enough because I think it's a great tool and for me it suits my needs and as I said in my first part of my post I very rarely even use my MacBook Pro Since I've owned the iPad |

Apple's generous return policy?!?! Are you out of your freaking mind!?! I have never bought an Apple product from an Apple store. I purchase my Apple stuff from Best Buy, cause as a platinum reward zone member I have 60 days to return an item if I don't want it, not a measly 14! You won't have me to blame for anything in regards to Apple store policies because I do not shop there. Nice try though!

But, aside from that - nobody, and I mean nobody here can convince you to have an ipad. You have proven it to yourself. It is not for you. Some people are totally happy with just an iphone. Some with... and some with... We are all different. If not, who would buy those butt ugly orange mustangs? |

I carry my macbook air with me to work daily. It's used for writing manuscripts, creating scientific figures, photo processing, etc., meaning things that require multiple applications with different functions open at once.
My iPad? I use it for web browsing, email, eBooks, RSS, socializing. It's my go-to when I'm traveling, and it's what I use while sitting on the bus. I use it to write drafts of papers in an environment where I won't be as distracted and don't need to insert figures or worry about formatting (I use a BT keyboard for this). I use it to review presentations before giving them, as well as reading science papers in PDF, highlighting, and annotating them (via the Papers application). I use it to read digital textbooks that would normally weigh several pounds; all this reading is much, much better on an iPad because it simply replicates the experience of a regular book better than a laptop would. To each their own though. Not everyone will figure out how the iPad fits into their life. For me, all the above can be done on a Mini at a lighter weight and will be more practical when carried around with my MacBook air, so I'm switching to the small one. I've been using the iPad since the first one, and I've never though that it "didn't make sense." Yes my iPhone can do a bunch of these things, but it serves its own function, and is most useful to me when I'm going somewhere (i.e. out to dinner, etc) where I don't carry a bag or just plan on doing something casual (i.e. reading is not on my list of things to do). I use both the iPad and iPhone heavily and find that they complement each other nicely; with the MacBook, they all still retain their own useful functions.

If the product and it's abilities don't convince you that you would benefit from it's day to day use, asking fellow forum members won't yield any better results. Save the gift card for something else.

It honestly sounds like you don't need an iPad. As a stock owner, I would love it if you buy and keep more Apple stuff... but buying and returning it 6 times should be enough to tell you about your usage patterns. Unless that drastically changes, you'd be insane for repeating the same steps and hoping for a different result. |

I had a similiar justification issue but with the Macbook Pro/MBA, not the iPad. I own an iMac, and do all of my personal computing on it, when needed. Bought an MBA to replace my iMac. It wasn't powerfull enough for me, so I quickly traded it in for a MBPro, then decided against that too and am waiting for the new iMac to be released for resale.
That being said, i am so-not a laptop person. I hate the trackpads, I hate sitting with a computer on my lap and prefer to use a tablet for internet browsing, emails, calendars, games, photos; etc... That being said, i totally agree with everyone else when they say that you probably don't "need" one. Everyone is different! Maybe try the iPad Mini instead of the full-sized ipad! good luck. |

Mabika hit two 3-pointers during the run, Murriel Page added six points and Tamara Moore five.
Despite being limited to 26 minutes, Leslie scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Sparks, who need a win Wednesday against Houston to complete a perfect 6-0 homestand.
Kara Lawson sank four 3-pointers - including two straight to give the Monarchs a 64-58 lead with 4 1/2 minutes to play - en route to 14 points. Nicole Powell scored 10 points in the first six minutes of the game but was held to five thereafter.

I bought a bag of Meyer lemons with this recipe in mind! I am a Grand Marnier lover, so I used that for the orange-flavored liqueur. This little citrus gem has the perfect balance of sweet to tart. This will definitely be treat throughout the week at cocktail hour! Thanks, cookin'mama!
